Simon is actually being kept hostage by the Warographics content farm. - No collared shirt. - Bandage on arm. - Blinks an SoS in the first minute of the video.

Simon not wearing a collared shirt is messing with my head

0:00 - Chapter 1 - Zelenskyy's Assassination Attempts 9:15 - Chapter 2 - Kenya in Haiti crisis in Kenya 16:35 - Chapter 3 - Houthis intensify campaign 29:40 - Chapter 4 - The final battle for darfur has begun 38:35 - Chapter 5 - What impact will the vote have on defence policy

Constructive feedback from a long time watcher.... Please please please record your videos with a higher max volume.This has been an issue with past content but now that you are making this much longer content, its much more of a challenge. A higher volume allows the people who watch youtube on their smart tv's to actually watch and listen in a household where there are other sounds nearby. Also, with Simon's soft sentence transitional tone, it makes him easier to understand to non-british listeners. Keep up the nice work folks! And make sure you let Simon outside every once in awhile.

Was really not expecting Vinland Saga to be taking shots during in this one lmao

Situation Room has become my #1 must watch of the week. Thanks for the content and hard work

im a kenyan viewer and i can tell you that this is the first time in my lifetime that ive seen Kenya this united

I really appreciate the effort this channel makes to write about the most recent current events, even though it must be a lot of work to get a time-sensitive video out quickly.

One problem with uk armed forces recruitment is that the high street recruiting offices were closed several years ago. You could walk into a recruiting office, talk to an actual member of whichever branch you were interested in, and potential be in uniform just a matter of weeks later. Under the new system one of those widely discredited contracting companies the government uses ( frequently at some financial benefit to some member of the government or their relative) is hopelessly inefficient and completely not fit for purpose. The process takes months, by which time many potential recruits have gone off to do something else in frustration.

PLEASE ADD CHAPTERS

Goodstuff!!I feel like I have read a book each time I catch up with your episode!📚

"In Britain, the consensus is that the 2024 election is the most boring in living memory." 🤣

Your best content yet, I had missed a good world currant affairs program and look forward to next week, thank you for your hard work.

Lead story sounds like something straight out of a Hollywood spy film 😂

Great content as per usual. Thumbs up!

Keep up the good work. Love Australia!

Honestly, having boring elections is kind of a democratic flex. Shows a calm society that’s confident in the system and feels no need to take drastic measures. I’m kinda jealous honestly

skimmed over the title, had a mini panic, and did a double take,,

That's actually a really good segment om the situation in Kenya. I'd like to add that the government also throttled the internet (after saying they wouldn't surprise surprise). the president also called the protesters "treasonous criminals" imagine that

I love this segment but the music is always so loud and takes away from what Simon is saying.

I really like your Situation Room. I feel that I can get carefully researched information. As close to the truth as possible.

Insightful as always

Once again - thank you for my weekly debrief

47:03 - could you turn the volume up some more? i can still just about hear Simon ;) Otherwise appreciate the quality updates.

When Simon goes casual the comments lose their minds lol

Clear and concise as always.

The one video series I want to watch, and also dread uploads. It do be grim at times

Thank you for the weekly updates Simon and company.

I did not expect a Vinland Saga reference 😂

Happy Sunday folks

Great episode 🌟

Love thess videos ❤

Your lack of drip in this video ligit gave me pause. 😂

Whenever you think America is nuts... Wargraphics: The Situation Room!

Needs to have a Pod for sure!

Could yall add chapters in the description for the start of each story?

Thanks!

I just needed a new video from you 😂thanks

Suddenly the music blasts in the end, almost cant hear simon

Thank you for this segment, especially in presenting information about countries I barely see reported on in Canada (Kenya, Haiti, Sudan)

Gotta say Simon, this is my favorite of your channels.

Bad audio.

Simon looking kinda jacked. You been pumping my dude?

Casual sunday simon?

@47:00 background music swell overpowers Simon. re-edit time.

Never comment on technical stuff here but the audio is strangely compressed in this one

Great analysis.

was not expecting Simon to be informed about anime of all things but hey I won't complain

When mindlessly scroll through youtube a new situation room will always make me pay attention. Always appreciated succinct reports on strories that need to be talked about more in the mainstream as a rule.

What concerns me most is not what Simon is reporting on but how most of the comments seem to be more concerned about his music than the actual content, especially what’s happening in Sudan and the attacks on shipping

You should make your videos into audio format for spotify i like listening to your content while working

Starfishes love current events on this channel... may this keep going

Between Simons T-Shirt and the overamped music track it seems like it's intern day at the office.

Sound is weird. Sounds like underwater.

I couldn't hear a thing you said over the swelling music at the end 😂

holy hell a rare form of Simon.. Casual!

Don't tax my pantaloonz. LIVE FREE OR WEAR B-BALLER SHORTZ.

You can take the Slav out of the purge, but you can't take the purge out of the Slav.

I like how the Sudan segment is just happy music for some reason lol

39:06 Simon just calling me out for stalling in my Vinland Saga binge was so out of left field 😭

The world is literally on fire 🔥 thanks for the update. We're all going to die... How much time do we have? 😂😅

Love this regular segment, but one critique. The background music isn’t “background.” It’s louder than the dialogue, especially on the last segment. Was unable to finish the video with closed caption.

Hey Simon, have you been working out? You appear more formidable today. Cheers!

Hey Simon, you getting IV's lately? Hope all is well.

S and Z sound seem to be peaking audio

What’s up w the audio?

Sound guy: Learn how to use a compressor. It makes dialog audible when you ramp up the music.

NiCCCe video SSShame about the SSSSSSound.

7:49 Ha, jokes on them. Czech railways doesn't work even if not hacked, waste of russian resources

What's going on with the audio?

Kenyan here! Well put Simon!

Sheesh a T Shirt and Garbled audio? It really do be the sabbath!

The music is really loud Simon my gosh

I ain't ever been this early! Hello Simon! From 🇸🇴🇵🇱

Simon's outfit scream "emergency call from overworked news", hooked my attention even more.

39:02 Whoa that's my favorite of the 2 seasons though

Why do you never add timestamps?

I felt my head spin for a good 5 seconds when the video started & Simon wasn’t wearing a collared shirt 🥴

Glad I'm not the only one that was taken aback by the t-shirt lol

Is the audio just bad for me?

Maybe just me but I think the sound is a bit low and strange in quality.

That background volume towards the end needs more cowbell. Didn't distract me; it just needs more cowbell.

Oh how you and Preston Stewart would benefit from each other. That would be great and incredibly informative

American here 🙋🏽‍♀️ I find "Tories" and "Labor" very confusing. Are Tories essentially Republicans and Labor essentially Democrats in terms of my country's politics?

The sound is way off. Be careful of high volumes or the pitch will hurt your ears.

Music at the end was so loud and distracting on my iPad.

Was on the fence about the second season of Vinland Saga, but Simon has firmly convinced me its not worth my time. I thank thee

80 billion debt? uh I actually wouldn't mind paying that for them....my country wastes 80 billion a day....prob more

Anyone Muslim nations want to report the Sudan war for possible genocide? ANYONE WILL DO. Curious low interest in this conflict, no Jews involved though so makes sense. “Unfortunately we have to wipe them all out, including the children” South Africa is crickets now for some reason, the victims are even black africans but still, crickets.

is this the first time that Simon mention about anime 39.07

Dressed down Simon. Must be a heat wave over there.

I always enjoy your videos. This one though has a bit much of the hard s-frequencies. Making it a bit more difficult to listen to. 😢 Just a bit of constructive feedback. (Watching on an iPhone with its speakers) /audio engineer student

Hello there

I have noticed some errors in the edition department that have completely broken my inmerssion while watching these videos. This time, the loud music made me laugh a little bit.

the reference to season 2 of Vinland saga was so good XD

remember that time the coalition launched a really tepid counterstrike against the houthi rebels, and we were told we had severely diminished the houthis capabilities. .. lol

As soon as a protest turns violent, it's not a protest. It's a riot. Riots are related to a protests. Rioting is kind of like protesting's less friendly cousin. A riot can be done with a fervor of resistance to something much like a protest. However, it does not meet the qualifications to be a protest and has consequences far more dire than a protest. More often than not a riot will galvanize the rioters' opponents. It will make them all the more willing to perform an action the rioters didn't want. The collateral damage of the riot will also bolster the ranks of the opponents.

Goddamn Simon that is one hell of a sun burn. 😂😂😂 can you feel the difference from where your watch was?

I can't be the only thinking, Simon looks a lot like Les Grossman in this episode.

PLEASE! PLEASE! Report on the ignored ethnic cleansing against Amhara ethnic group in Ethiopia, that has been going on for the last 6 years at the hands of 0romo separatist trabalists govt body, as the world looks away. Poor unarmed harmless farmers, women, children that know nothing about politics are being robbed of everything they own, including very little foods they have, drinking cups and cooking pots, displaced and m*ssacred because of their ethnicity. 🙏😭
